I finished up the ATR outline today and it looks like this baby's going to clock in at about twenty-two chapters. I might be able to condense it down to twenty -- there's one chapter in which I only have two scenes planned so far that could probably be added to another -- but, boy! I knew it was going to be long, but I really wasn't expecting that many chapters.
On the Olympics front, Sasha Cohen's in first after the short program! *squeals* Granted, she has only a .03 lead over Irina Slutskaya, but that has to be a big confidence booster. The other Americans are doing well, too, considering their lack of international experience. Kimmie Meissner's in fifth and Emily Hughes, filling in for Michelle Kwan, is in seventh. If they skate well in the free skate, there's a very small, outside chance one of them (most likely Meissner) could medal. (That's what I love about the new scoring system. It gives skaters a real chance to come up from behind.)
The real competition also started on American Idol with the girls. My favorites so far are probably Katharine McPhee and Lisa Tucker. Very, very talented girls.
